About the Book: “The Magic in Me!”
This personalized book makes every child the star of their own story! Customized with their name, photo, skin tone, hair color, hairstyle, eye color, and even options for glasses or a wheelchair, it’s a one-of-a-kind way to teach kids about kindness, inclusion, and the beauty of diversity.
With illustrations by Kamala Nair, this book inspires children to see how they fit into a colorful world and encourages them to spread kindness and appreciation for everyone’s differences.
About the Author/Illustrator: Timi Bliss
Timi Bliss is a hybrid picture book author, digital collage illustrator, and publisher creating stories that celebrate the everyday lives of Black children. Her vibrant, digital collage style is inspired by artists like Ezra Jack Keats, Christian Robinson, and Vanessa Brantley-Newton, bringing bright colors, fun patterns, and rich textures to life.
For Timi, books are more than stories—they’re mirrors and windows, reflecting culturally diverse children’s lives while offering others a glimpse into different experiences.
